Hello again,
Just FYI update ... I got a full refund (except for postage costs) for my scratched M 28, plus I got to keep the lens, too ... so that was good news, I guess.
More good news in that I found a really nice M 28 in Germany with case and caps at a great price in my books ... only have one problem: cannot read the instruction manual since it's in German !
Before getting rid of the scratched M 28, I think that I will have a shoot-off between my two copies to see if there is any real IQ difference due to the scratched rear element ...
Allez et salut, J
